The Pig is an incredibly versatile Killer in Dead by Daylight. She can crouch and pounce at Survivors, plus use the Saw franchise’s iconic Reverse Bear Traps to force them out of hiding in search of keys to remove her torturous devices. However, the lengthy timer on these traps has been somewhat of a sore spot for Killer mains—that is, until now as Survivors will have far less time to escape their fate. Today, Behaviour Interactive released its Developer Update preview for the upcoming All Things Wicked Chapter in Dead…

Since making its PTB debut, The Unknown has delighted Dead by Daylight players with its grotesque appearance, horrific voice lines, and interesting mechanics. However, the Killer’s regular ole axe seemed weirdly ordinary for such a monster, and now some players believe that the axe is just the tip of the murderous iceberg.

On Monday, the developers behind Yuzu agreed to shut down the website entirely and pay Nintendo $2.4 million dollars, according to court documents.

The team behind the Switch emulator that Nintendo accused of “facilitating piracy at a colossal scale” has agreed to pay $2.4 million to the video game giant and will seemingly end its operations.
